Palm said to be prepping Palm Eos

We’re all still waiting for the Palm Pre to make its debut most likely in May.

But Engadget has a peek at what it calls the second phone that will run Palm’s new WebOS operating system. The Palm Eos is reportedly headed to AT&T eventually and will serve as a follow up to the Palm Centro, a lighter, cheaper and smaller companion to Palm’s flagship devices. Check out Engadget for a full list of specs.

It’s unclear when this baby would launch. Techcrunch said Palm could put this out in the fall but may be waiting to see how the Pre does first.

This will be a necessary component for Palm’s success. It’ll need to get its WebOS out to as many customers as possible if it really wants to build up developer support for the platform. With the Pre starting on third-place Sprint, Palm will be under pressure to launch the Pre or other WebOS devices on other carriers as soon as possible.
